Description

Killing Eve centers on two women: Eve is a bored, whip-smart, security services operative whose desk-bound job doesn’t fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle is a talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. Killing Eve topples the typical spy thriller as these women, obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse.

MI5 security officer Eve is bored in her job and yearns for a more exciting life. When a Russian politician is murdered, Eve is tasked with protecting the only witness and soon finds herself on a collision course with an assassin, Villanelle.

In the aftermath of her recent assignment, Villanelle is ordered to take a break. Never one to do as she's told, she goes ahead with her next mission. Meanwhile, Eve is given a dream opportunity to join a secret MI6 unit tracking Villanelle.

When Villanelle kills a Chinese colonel at a kink clinic in Berlin, Eve and Bill travel out to investigate. While Eve and Bill chase up a number of promising leads, Villanelle enjoys the cat-and-mouse of their proximity.

Intel from Berlin points to the existence of a mole, prompting Eve to undertake her first surveillance operation. Meanwhile, Villanelle is sent to England to eliminate a member of British Intelligence. Villanelle wonders, could it be Eve?

Having survived a close call with Villanelle, Eve now has the mole in a safe house. They have an opportunity to glean information and crack this open. But Villanelle hasn't finished with Eve, and forces an escalation in their relationship.

A female assassin is taken into custody in Russia, and Eve and Carolyn head to Moscow to negotiate access. Meanwhile, Villanelle is smuggled into the same Russian jail. It's a grim and brutal place, where not even Villanelle is safe.

The situation in Moscow escalates, and Eve starts to question who she can trust. Despite the danger, with her sights firmly set on Villanelle, Eve goes rogue. Meanwhile, Villanelle is given her next target - and it's astonishing.

Starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Killing Eve is a spy-action thriller centered around two women, equally obsessed with each other, going head-to-head in an epic game of cat and mouse.
